Are Being Used on Best Makes of Passenger Cars. There is a growing tendency on the part of motorists to favor the pressed steel disc wheel, and increasing num- bers of the cars are being equipped with traction and support members of this type. The wheel used tor passen- ger cars is a single disc type, being dished for strength. In most designs the thickness of the metal is greater at the centre than at the rim, thus proportioning the section to the strain coming upon it. A cast-steel master hub is fastened to the axle, and the steel disc is attached to this by four easily removable 'nuts which screw on studs in the permanent hub flange. The disc wheel is as easily removed as any other type and is stronger and more easily washed than the conven- tional wood or wire spoked forms. a new one.

As an illustration of what the farmer in that state thinks of the motor truck a statement recently is- sued by the Northwestern National Bank in Minneapolis might be cited' in which it is said that “trucks in large numbers, intended for immediate use in marketing grain, are being sold to tarmers." Elevator scales in many places are being remodelled to accom- odate the growing fleet ot farmers' trucks. THREE GREAT ROADS CONNECT COUNTRIES Three great international automo- bile roads, all ot which will cement more closely the friendly relations be- tween Canada and the United States, are being planned and much ot the preliminary work has already been done by friendly co-operation on both sdes of the international boundary. One is the great "Road of Remem- brance," from the pines to the palms, stretching from the boundaries of Northern Ontario to the Gulf of Mex- ico at New Orleans. Another is the boulevard roadway stretching from Winnipeg and points North through North Dakota and Minnesota through the Mississippi valley, and the third will connect Alberta with Montana. On the "Road ot Remembrance" it ist nmnnsed that trees shall be planted, -- iewa, potential buyer tor trucks, will spend better highways. On the "Road ot Remembrance" n; is proposed that trees shall be planted, each to be dedicated to a fallen hero, and each, therefore, to perpetuate in growing beauty the memory of the brave men who fell in the great war. "Victory Oaks" have already been planted all along the road through Louisiana. Considerable construction has xty1- ready been done on the road South from Winnipeg, tor which large appro- priations have been made on 'both sides of the line. Preliminary sur- veys have been made on the road link- ing the great national parks, and as soon as the weather conditions permit the actual work will be started. w A Practically a fourth connecting link will be the Prince of Wales Highway from Ottawa to Prescott. This high-. way virtually provides a spur for the Theodore Roosevelt International Me- morial Highway which passes through Ogdensburg. PUTTING UP A GARAGE i, The first demand made upon the, home garage is, of course, as a storage place for the car. It must be dry, a cement floor is essential, unless one, can procure a good supply of eindertr which, if well tamped down, make _ fair substitute. A dearth of windows is a common fault in most garages and lack of space runs a close second. We want a well-lighted garage and the new owner who thinks he will probab- ly give all his repair work to the ex- perienced man in town and conserves in the matter of windows and space finds that after he has paid a few good- sized repair bills that he has an inclin- ation to learn something about the car himself. He gets a case of tinlrer,'s itch eventually. -Then he is sorry because he left out a couple of windows. He also finds that he has made a mistake when he has to squeeze between the running board and the wall or crowd the radiator when he wants to find whether a dirty plug or a worn ring is causing No. 2 to pump oil. There should be at least three feet ot space on each side of the car and at least twice as much in front of the bumper when the car is comfortably inside the door. This gives plenty of room for the oil barrel and work bench in front, allows spare tires, old tubes and other items to be hung along the walls without having to brush them with your best suit every time you pass And beware of accumulating junk of this and other sorts. Some folks make a practice of throwing all the unused articles into the garage, but it's a poor practice. Of course, the o1tueasing may have a few miles in it, the old tube might do for a short run, and either of them will make a few patches for a pinch, but Junk is nothing but Junk, and unless one is waiting for a rise in the market it is best to dispose of it in ordinary amounts rather than stumble over it in the dark. No matter whether a man expects to do his own repairing or not, if he lives on a farm and owns a garage there should be a work bench placed in it. On this bench should be a light, but substantial vice; a good eight-inch file, kept free from grease: a small three- cornered file; a medium-sized pipe Growing Fleet of Farmers' Trucks Said to be Cause. wrench: a large monkey wrench and a maehinist's hammer. These may be added to as experience shows what is needed, but for the man who intends to do the smple little thugs that fall to the lot of all motorists they are ample tor the beginning. Utilized for a. multitude of duties besides plowing and' hauling the bind- er, motor tractors on farms are kept busy the year round. They handle ditehers, fill silos, saw wood and pull the husking machines. Failure of the railroads to handle the output of the big automobile factories at Detroit, Michigan, caused that city to be literally flooded with finished motor vehicles.
